Still early, but I have used this on a dozen shoots. I am a Proshooter, high volume, mostly portraits, events and action not landscape, but I think any issues I am seeing versus other Nikons would go away with landscape. I wont review the specs as those are easily found elsewhere those. I also shoot with D800E, D810, D5 and older models so will also offer some comparisons with these frame rate works as advertised great LOVE the ability to dial up and down the raw file size based on what I am shooting HUGE benefit versus other Nikons yes D5 has this, but only two sizes and the small size not useful to me Image quality Wow. Detail is amazing and the colors are rich. Dynamic rage is great in post I am finding lots of hidden details and rarely does an image get blown out that cant be fixed later. Extra care required with shooting technique and this many pixels. LCD screen works great, lots of detail. Does not have the vibrant color of the D800E, so showing clients on the back of the camera does not have the same wow impact. LCD is better than the D810 as well. FOCUS VASTLY improved focus versus the D800E Thank you Nikon. Focus is faster and more accurate than the D810 but I found that camera to already be very solid. Not as good focus as the D5 its supposedly the same system, but the D5 tracks moving subjects better and is more accurate more often. The D5 is like shooting with training wheels it just doesnt miss. With the D850 you have to be much more conscious of good shooting technique not only to make sure focus is solid, but also because of the high pixel count it is more susceptible to slight misses. Exposure Jury is out on this My D5 doesnt miss. D800E and D810 work great. I am finding that the exposure will sometimes miss when I am shooting a single person with bright background even with spot focus and spot metering so I need to double check the images just captured and occasionally will force a brighter image with either a manually set shutter speed or dialing up the exposure. Similar problems with matrix exposure where there is a bright background and subjects are darker. BTW, these are exposure issues, NOT focus issues NOTE for early purchasers Lightroom does NOT yet support the D850 raw files and it is killing my process and I am not happy with the conversion. DNG conversion is spotty, takes too much time, and reduces the size and resolution unless I imbed the original raw file and then the file size is 7080MB. I dont have the time, nor do I want to spend the time, to figure out how to fix this, I want Adobe and Nikon to be more timely and work this out. BTW, Photo mechanic reads the D850 files very well…. I am not sure if it is fair to compare the focus and exposure of a D850 to a 6500 D5….. I will likely update this to 5 stars once lightroom can read the files it may not be fair to Nikon, but the truth of the camera is that it isnt useful to me until it works throughout my entire workflow they need to get the raw file structure to Adobe sooner for integration. I will update the review as I learn more

I wanted to provide you prospective from a user that has 1.5 years of experience with the D850. I wrote a previous review with 2 months use back in early 2018, and now have significant hours in the field to further comment. Nikon simply pulled out all the stops with this technology. As a semiprofessional landscape photographer the product pushes the envelope in 1 Low light performance low noise 2 Recouping shadow detail 3 Best in class picture quality 4 Great functional customization and 5 Exceptional Live View capabilities. I have married the body performance with Prime Sigma Art lens and FX Pro Nikon lens, and could not be happier with the detail and edgeto edge picture performance. You will need to be prepared however, specially as a landscape photographer, to carry significant weight with this camera coupled with Sigma Art glass. A small price to pay for exceptional performance. Like you, I research and read user reviews. You can stop reading now it has excelled in multiple National Park venues and winters in Chicago. Buy it…it will renew your love in photography

I will refrain from reviewing this camera in all the ways that can be easily found on this very page, or in any number of other online review sites Im sure by now that you have read them all anyway. What I would like to add that I have not yet found online anywhere, is how wonderful this camera and especially the sensor and processor is for long exposure captures. Im talking about the 58 minute long exposures captured in midday using 16stop ND filters. For us LE photographers it has always been a problem dealing with hot pixels in post production. Yes, we deal with them in post rather than using the incamera LE NR because that would add yet another 58 minutes to the capture time while the camera captures a black frame that is then used to map out the hot pixels. This is also NOT the same issue that the D810 had in its early days. These are simply pixels that get aggravated due to the sensor heating up for 5 minutes or longer. This is a simple matter of electronics and there really is no way around it. With that said, I am fully amazed at how FEW hot pixels are on my images. I work in temps around 7585 degrees ambient also, so its not like Im doing this in arctic outside temperatures. The D810 had thousands that I would have to tackle in post, but this camera only has a handful, and that is no joke. I was initially concerned because usually when more pixels are crammed onto the same size sensor, those pixels get more aggravated…. not so with this camera. Im not sure if it is the quality of the sensor itself, the EXPEED 5 processor, or a combination of both. Regardless, I am 100 impressed There are many other things that are to love about this camera too all the buttons are where they should be, the tilt screen is a joy for those low shots, the weather sealing is wonderful mine has already been in a downpour of rain and it just feels very comfortable to hold. But like I said, you can read all those reviews elsewhere I just wanted to speak about its long exposure power… it is grand Cheers

I upgraded from a D750 and have been very happy with the camera. My usual style is landscape photography and the focus stacking feature really caught my attention. To date, Ive used it only in a studio setting, but I can say without hesitation this feature will definitely get lots of use from me. I was able to take the camera to a local airshow to try out the dynamic autofocus and frame rate. With a Sony G series XQD card and the secondary card set for overflow, I can get a series of 35 frames usually a few more before the buffer is full. This is a great deal better than my D750 using SanDisk Extreme Pro SD cards. I also took the camera to a local botanical garden to try out the LiveView and its touchscreen features. Highly useful for landscapes And the silent shutter is now my default mode for LiveView shooting. Im usually using this for landscapes where visual elements are not moving at high rates of speed, so the rolling shutter is unlikely to be an issue for just about all the shooting I do. With this resolution, removing the variable of vibration from the mechanical shutter is very much appreciated. Add this to the focus shiftstacking feature, and we have a recipe for incredibly sharp landscapes or macros. Touchscreen… Im still teaching myself that I dont have to use the toggle pad to navigate menus and panning around photo reviews. Years worth of habit is hard to break but Im coming around quickly. This is a longawaited addition and I am finding it useful. SnapBridge is another feature Im finding useful. This is the first Nikon model Ive owned with the feature and it is far beyond the WMU feature set. Allowing the use of the phone to synchronize the clock as well as GPS coordinates is very welcome for me. No more separate GPX files and fiddling with synchronizing timings I very rarely feel the need to share photos immediately, but the browsing and downloading features are better than the WMU option on my D750. This is a fantastic option for anybody looking for professional features including 8256×5504 resolution at a very competitive price point. In the couple weeks Ive had the camera, Ive found no disappointments.

As an owner of both the D810 and D500, I can honestly say the D850 brings the stand out features of both to a single camera. I shoot a combination of motorsports, portrait and landscape and the D850 is handling each very well. The speed and autofocus upgrade makes it well suited for fast moving subjects and the high resolution and dynamic range let me bring out the tiniest details. Great job Nikon

The 850 is my 4th Nikon, I began with a 200, followed by a 7000 and then a 750. The 750 was great and Im expecting the 850 to be better. At this point Im still getting acquainted with the 850. The camera was backordered for weeks so I had time to read David Buschs D850 book and found it very helpful and I know it let me work though the setup faster. These are the pros and cons so far. Weight its slightly heavier and larger but that isnt a problem. I really like the viewfinder, the way it can be focused and the view. Low light slightly better than the 750. Video Im primarily a still photographer so I havent tested the video yet. Arrangement of the controls much better, e.g., the ISO, Mode, Quality and White Bal. No Auto Mode I dont miss it and was never sure why it was on the previous cameras because the Program mode did about the same things. 45 MP Those 45 megapixels make the files double size from the 750, thats OK but the larger pixel files sometimes exaggerate any camera shake so VR is important. You dont have to shoot at 45MP. QXD card I wish the camera used two QXD cards. Wireless remote the wireless remote Ive used on the previous two cameras doesnt work with the 850 but there are other solutions for remote shuttering. No Illuminator light Im glad to see it gone. Touch Screen very convenient and I like it. No Internal Flash I miss that a little but the SB800 I have seems to work OK. Multiple picture sizes I like that as it saves cropping, i.e., 1.25411 Button Illumination that is very convenient.

I have used a Nikon D800 for studio photography and have shot over 135,000 images. I use Canon gear for my own personal use and have been able to actively compare both brands. I purchased this camera to replace the studio camera after noticing new reviews talking about the dynamic range of this new camera. Boy, was I impressed. The whole package has been upgraded obviously, a 45 year gap between releases does wonders. Image quality is phenomenal, Nikon finally fixed the camera grip and now feels like Canons best grip. Being able to pull shadows like I can with this camera with 45 megapixels is amazing. The rear articulating screen is a plus. Ive also use this outside from time to time and the quality outside is just as amazing. Great dynamic range, colors are spot on, tons of detail in the images. And one of my favorite options is being able to shoot Small, Medium and Large in RAW when I dont need full resolution for some projects to save space. To sum up, absolutely worth the money to upgrade if youre using a D800 or D810. It has even made me question my Canon affiliation due to Canons recent lacking of performance with their new stuff coming out. Nikon really hit it out of the park with this camera. You wont be disappointed

This camera has every function I need to take any type of photo for my livelihood. I stepped up from a D 750 and it was an excellent choice. It can provide large prints and has a number of great functions which make taking great photographs easy. Id recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent camera. Simply go check it out at the store and you will be impressed.

I purchased my D850 in May, upgrading from my D3200, D5200 and D7200. I love almost everything about this camera. The images are absolutely stunning, all of the features are amazing and the battery life is great My biggest issue, which happens to be a huge one for me, is the amount of moire that Im experiencing. I had never even heard of this term until I used the D850. I hadnt seen it mentioned in D850 reviews so I spoke with Nikon and they informed me that without the low pass filter, moire is completely normal. I was told to try to step backforward from my subjects, zoom inout and constantly check my images at 100 for moire. Thats not always possible at weddings. Or change my aperture to f16 or so. Thats 100 not going to work at most weddings Lightroom, Photoshop and Capture NXD have ways to fix it in post but they do not always work, which Nikon also informed me is completely normal. Do some SERIOUS research on moire before purchasing Plaid, tight fabric designs and a lot of suits will be your enemy The attached photos of the gray pants shows you the before and after. Capture NXD did a pretty good job on this one. However the maternity photo is after using Capture NXD and it didnt fix it at all I tried LR PS with no luck.

The quality and features of the Nikon D850 absolutely blow me away. Coming from a fantastic camera in its own right D750, something that initially, and still does, amaze me is the quality of the photos this monster D850 takes. Ive only had the camera for a few weeks and am still learning it. I know it is the photographer, not the camera, than makes the great pictures but Im telling you that I just cant believe the beautiful photos Ive taken with the D850. Yes, lots of it is due to good glass which is no cheap investment, a good solid strong tripod the brown truck will be arriving shortly with my RRS TVC34 tripod, and good shooting skills but having all of those goodies plus skill which one develops over time, my hobby yes, Im retired and do NOT make any money from photography just jumped a bunch. Bottom line If you dont earn money from photography, you dont need this camera but if you can rationalize the purchase and if you do it, you will NOT regret it. While my D850 was still on backorder at BH, one of the videos BH sponsored had a professional photographer fielding a question about the high megapixel count, how to store all of those big pictures, etc. and he said something that really resonated with me. He said something like Once you start shooting with this camera and see how gorgeous the pictures are, all of those concerns will evaporate immediately…..or something like that. Well, thats what happened to me. Oh, BTW, dont forget the 4k video plus so many of the other features Im not going to get into e.g. AF.Finally, so many benefits of the almost 46 megapixels but one that really jumped out at me from the beginning is that you can take a picture of an object or person that is NOT close and then zoom in or crop and the detail you see is unbelievable. Yes, Ill do a fair amount of cropping of my finished shots and still come up with amazing clarity and detail. Whew…….dont get me started on this fantastic camera

The Nikon D850 and Sigma art lens I rented were in excellent condition and they worked perfectly. I rented these two pieces of equipment to shoot a wedding and I was so happy with the accuracy of the shipping dates as well as how pristine the equipment was. I will definitely be utilizing Lensrental in the future. This is a really great way to try out new gear before investing too.
